Head Like a Hole :- Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main bassline for the song is:
G|----------------------------------------
D|----------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------
E|---12-0-0----13-0-0----10-0---5-0--4-0--
This bassline kicks in for all the verses (God money...etc.) and is the intro
to the song with a drum machine.
I can only play the guitar at the chorus:
It's 2 chords:
E(XII) 12-14-14-13-12-12
A(XII) x-12-14-14-14-x
[ In the Video Trent actually plays E(VII) x(0)-7-9-9-9-x but the other is
easier to play when singing along, and sounds fine. ]
It's something like:
E////////////////////A////////////////E///////////////////A///
Head Like a Hole, Black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control
////////////E////////////////////A////////////////E///////////////////A//////
Head Like a Hole, Black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control
As you can see it's simply thrah out those (power) chords. You can hear it on
the album.
As for the other bit after the chorus:
Bow down before the one you serve ... etc...
I haven't figured it out yet. It's a different Bassline, possibly with
keyboards.

This is an arrangement (meaning the way I play it, not exactly how
Trent plays it.) Since almost the whole song is drum machines and
synthesizer's, its hard to play live. So here is a way you may want
to play it, if you and your friends want to jam. Oh year and thanks to
Tim Davis (davist@cs.man.ac.uk) for the Bass line.

God money don't want everything he want it all.

Bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve
Lyrics:
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure.
God money lets go dancing on the back's of the bruised.
God money's not one to choose.
Chorus (X2)
Bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve
you know who you are.
